Sign Size

The surname meaning and origin sign is an oak hanging sign engraved with a family surname and a short history of where it comes from, for birthdays, Christmas, a new home or an ancestry fan. Send the surname and we write the origin for you, or supply your own wording. Four sizes, with a jute string loop. Made from 4mm FSC-certified oak veneered MDF and laser-engraved to order in our workshop in North Wales.

How to order

  1. Choose your size.
  2. Add the surname in the personalisation box, and say whether we should write the origin or you are supplying your own wording.
  3. Add to basket.

Example meanings

Harrison (serious):
Origin: English, patronymic of Harry, meaning "son of Henry", from the Germanic elements "heim" (home) and "ric" (ruler).

Harrison (humorous):

    Dispatched quickly but had a minor error with a typo. Peter was very quick to respond to my email and promptly sent me a replacement. Very happy with the second one I received and with the service in general. Nice little gift that fits in the post with a birthday card...I think the recipient will love it. Thankyou.
